Ohio University students, faculty and staff who have been fully vaccinated will not need to participate in the universityâs mandated COVID-19 testing program. Special Assistant to the President for Public Health Operations Dr. Gillian Ice announced on Tuesday new adjustments to the universityâs COVID-19 protocol. âI know this comes as a relief to many,â said Ice. She nodded to recent changes in general guidance from the CDC and the state, as well as the status of local public health data. Last week, the university announced that it would relax public health measures on its campuses, an act made in anticipation of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWineâs June 2 lifting of public health orders.
